Loads can tip forwards when there is an insufficient load-bearing surface supporting the load while lifting. <\/p>\n<p>MSE-Forks is the world&#8217;s largest manufacturer of hydraulic forklift truck forks so-called KOOI-ReachForks with over twenty-five years of experience. When hydraulic forks extensions are not frequently used they will be probably too expensive. For those applications MSE-Forks has designed an alternative. Extensive expertise in the field of bending and sheet metalworking has resulted in new and manually extendible slide-on fork extensions that meet the most stringent quality standards. Using special sheet metalworking techniques, a slide-on extension has been created that is partially open along its lower surface, but has the characteristics of a closed sleeve. <\/p>\n<p>This unique design provides the following major benefits:<br \/>\nLoads can be handled where the load centre (LC) is located beyond the fixed forks&#8217; basic length.<br \/>\nAll-round, continuous cross-section without welds.<br \/>\nLightweight construction compared to a full sleeve cross-section.<br \/>\nProfiled, pointed nose for easy pallet insertion.<br \/>\nAccurate tolerances with minimal play between extension and fork.<br \/>\nLoad-bearing capacity of slide-on extensions has been calculated to be compatible with fixed forks with a maximum yield strength of 836 N\/mm\u00b2.<br \/>\nStrength comply with three-fold nominal load on 0.9* L. <\/p>\n<p>Safety Issues:<br \/>\nInsertion length should be a minimum of 60% for open and closed extensions.<br \/>\nContact always your lift truck dealer for the residual load capacity rating. <\/p>\n<p>Special MSExtensions\u00ae Features<br \/>\nLateral clearance between fork and extension minimized to increase safety.<br \/>\nBending radii can be made extremely small using special-purpose folding press blades that allow extensions to be slid onto forks with a minimal clearance.<br \/>\nLateral movement with respect to forks minimized.<br \/>\nAll MSExtensions\u00ae subject to rigorous risk analysis. <\/p>\n<p>Increased Extension Lifetime<br \/>\nThe underside of the extensions can be fitted with a wear plate that is welded into the gap of the folded section. This adds virtually no extra thickness to the sleeve, but increases its lifetime considerably. All extensions are galvanized to prevent corrosion in compliance with standard 20405-Zn and the safety catch is made from nickel-chrome steel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Situations can arise that may cause damage to goods or even injury to persons whenever you have to lift loads and\/or goods that are longer than your current forklift truck forks.
